We have this morning received some Spanish and Portuguese Papers, from which_ we have made se-_ veral extracts. Some German Papers also arrived, but they Contain 'no news: Dutch Papers to the 9th inst. have reached town, which contain the terms of the Treaty between BUONAPARTE and his brother Louts, respeaing the future fate of, Holland.. The idea of a Treaty between .BUOkAPARTE and Louis must, at ,any_timeappeer absurd, but it is more peculiarly so at • preseet, when the latter is the prisoner of the'former, and holds his title entirely at his pleasure. This Treaty nominallypteserves to Holland her independence,but in fad con3pletely-titinihilates it, and leaves thelDutch Government almost without a shadow of power.— The Whole of Dutch Brabant and Zealand are ceded to France, and the reason assigned by BUONAPARTE for demanding this cession is worthy of notice. The article says, " Whereas the,Arsenals of Ant werp are, in consequence of the present position of the frontiers of the two Conntries, uncovered and exposed, therefore," &&c. This declaration Of vcry rut the violent opposers of Ministers in this Country, who have been telling the Public in, their speeches and Writings that the attack upon Antwerp was absurd and impraEticable ; that .BUONAPARTB felt no uneasiness respeaing its fate, and that, on the contrary, he felt the ntrnoat satisfaction when . he found that our foTce was destined to attack in that quarter. To these assertions, so eloquently and so, patriotically urged, BUONAPARTE has now given a dire& contradiction:' •The Gentlemen of the oppo sition say that Antwerp was not assailable with any prospe6 of success. BUONAPARTE says it was, and i$ exposed and uncovered ; and to such an authority, • particularly on a military subje&, we are , sure they will bow with submission. Having, by the article alluded to, seized a considerable and valuable portion of the Dutch. territories, BUONAPARTE, by the other. .atticles, assumes the complete Government • of all that, portion of the Datch territories which he has not seized. An army of eighteen thou ' sand men, one-third French, is to be maintained by the Dutch and to be stationed at all the mouths of rivers, to eel under the orders of French Custom house Ott - leers. A fleet of nine sail of the hoe, six frigates, and too gun-boats, are to be maintained by the Dual, atdjo.be at thedisposal of BUONAPARTE. In . word, Holland is, to all intents and purposes, a province of France, paying double taxes. There is one article. in this Treaty which we con fe;:s we read with peculiar pleasure, viz. the Mb,. which states, that " All the merebandize brought by American . ships into Dutch ports, which have entered since the Ist of January, 18(0, shall be placed under sequestration, and given - up to France, in order to be d4osed of according to Circumstances and the political relations of, France with the United States." We shall be anxious to know what impression this article will make upon Mr. JEFFERSON and the French• party in America, and. whether they will again .coutend, in their Negociations with this Country, that Hollapd ought to be considered as an /rtdepcnderrt State.

BADAJOZ, MARCH 28.-.-The 'Spanish divisions of BALLESTUROS and CONTtJRAS attacked, .rm the 20th inst, in the morning, the van of MORTIER'S army, which had taken post in Santa Olaya, whence the French were dislodged, and pursued as far as Iton quill°, where they were reinforced and continued a brisk musketry fire the whole of the day. On the 27th, at break of day, the Spanish army attacked Ronquillo with the utmost gallantry; the enemy for some time maintained his Position with much courage ; but as soon as the Spanish army pe netrated into the place, the French evacuated it, and fell back to Huera, where they still main tained themselves at the time when the . Spanish Lieutenaqt-Colonel cane away, who was the bearer of this account to the Marquis ROMANA. REGNIER'S division has marched from Cacerc to Torremocha, in which place, and in the environs, it isnt.presenti • General O'DONELL. is to move with his division from Albuquerque in the direelion of Caxceres. A Gentleman lately arrived in Muida from Vil lanueva de . la Serena, states, that the important points of Almarez and Arcebispo have been taken by the Spanish. Authentic intelligence received from Almeida of the 23d instant, states, that, the Province of Biscay and all the Spanish - territory on the other side ' of the Ebro are to - be annexed to France, BUONA . - PARTE'S decree, which orders the said annexation, has already been issued, and French Governors are • daily expe&ed to take possession of the territory so annexed. A Eadajoz Letter of the 24th inst:' contains the following passage Our new guests have left us - • with, more speed than they entered these Provinces. The advanced parties of General .BALLESTEROS , . army have already occupied the advantageous -position of Olaya, situated in the, centre of the Sierra Morena. The army of that gallant warrior is daily increasing, and already amounts to t c 2,000 men, exclusive of a great number ,of celebrated sharp shooters of . the Sierra, who from their infancy are used to the management ,of fire-arms," . The most recent intelligence from Cadiz is of the 17th* inst. at which time no operation of the . least importance had been undertaken, neither by the' Combined forces nor the French: CaINNA, MARCH I.s.—Tlte Superior Junta of this kingdom has received the following offiCial ,comenenic:ltion, dated the loth inst. from his Ex cellency Don. N. MAny GAeIA ,advises me, by u letter Gen instant,ottheigiiP Tt that Captain I-haft arrived in Badajos, early in the. morning, with a letter from the Marquis Da LA 106,IANA, stating, that the French . were defeated, both near Ciudad Rodrigo, and in the Isle of Leon, with the loss of . several thousand men." The French force'which was on its march to oc cupy Malaga is said to have been repulsed, and Capt. HAaA affirms, that our army in Badajoz amounts already to 35,000 men. , The inaaivity of General LOISSON in Banesa and Leon - seems to confirm the truth of the above in telligence. \\relearn, by letters from Badajoz, of the 28th inst. that the army of Gen. BALLESTEROS has taken possession of Vicella, from 5 to 6 leagues distant from Seville; after having previously : defeated the French in two actions; the battalion of Merida covered ii_ self with glory. Tbis intelligence is said to be of ficial. VIGO, MARCH 7.—A ship, which on the 6th instant arrived in this port ' from Tarragona, has brought intelligence, that at the time she set out there were already 30,000 Spanish . troops of the line, in Catalonia, and that the Spanish frigate Eme rald carried at once from 800 to 900 French pri soners from Tarragona to the hie of Cabiera, nd -that the said frigate, and another called Itlsha, are daily employed on that service'. The garrison of Barcelona does not exceed 2000 men. Our troops made preparations to attack that place, Getona is alsq besieged by our troops, and all Catglonia is rising in a mass, . - COIMBRA, MARCH 20.—His Excellency Marshal BERWORO arrived here on the 20;h inst. at two in the afternoon, and took up his residence in the University Palace. A soldier in the 9th Portuguese Regiment was shot in this place on the 17th inst. ; his offence was desertion 'and the sale of his ac- coutrements. • LISBON, MA-RCH 28.—A1l the information re ceived by the packets and Spanish post; .is of the most satisfactory nature. In . Ciudad Itodrigo an lanion took place, the result of which proved very favourable to the combined armies. GUAIIDA, MARCH skirmish took ?NCO at a . village called Barba de Forco, between 200 French and' co of the 95th Regiment. The enemy were . . repulsed by this small party, and had six killed . upon the spot. They 'retired. to St. Feliccs, at whiCh place they have an advanced corps of 3000 lien,' as an.army of ohseryakion, GUARDA, MARCH 28.—0 n the i9th instant, at , nine at night, 600 French entered the vil. lage • Barirt de Porco, where they were received by. four cowpanies of the 95th Ptegiment, and com pletely defeated; two officers and 120 men killed and taken prisoners. An officer and eight men of the 95th were killed. Lord WELLINeTOiti'S head quarters are at Penkel. General 'CRAUFORD'S divi sion has advanced to Gallegos (Spain), .and thc whole army has received orders to be ready at a moment's notice. The French have 10;000 men at Salamanca, 7000 at St.-Felices, 2000 at Puebla, 1500 at Bambia, 5 00 at Seinadille, and about 3000 on the Piqueto, &c. LISBON, MARCH 31.--- , The Princess Charlotte and Wilsingham Packets arrived on .the 25th, and the Princess of Wales on the 26.11. The Princess Charlotte sails to-morrow . . Four ships of the line have also come in, and a number of transports, with above 10,000 troops, including cavalry, artillery, and infantry. The Norge has arrived to-day, with General COTTON, to take the command of the For- ' tugnese regiments. The Norge'-has sustained some damage by going on shore on entering the Tagus, and has about three feet water in her hold. Letters from Oporto say, that the French pri soners there are to be immediately sent.tound by sea to Lisbon. Some accounts from the North state the force of the French immediately upon our frontiers at 24,000 men, a force too weak to attempt any great scale of operations before ? receiving reinforcements. We are.,pow fortifying some of the heights more immediately in this neighbourhood, but the wnfie dence sems pretty general that our united force will: make a most formidable opposition to any at tempt of the,enemy. Yesterday, about one o'clock, her MAJESTY, ac' companied by Princesses AUGUSTA, ELIZABETH, and SOPHIA,' left the Queen's Palace, and proceed.' 0 to the Duke of Cumberland's apartments in St. Ja . mes's palace, where they partook of a sumptuous cold collation provided for them, and then dressed in .their Court dresses, for the QUEEN to hold a .
